I said this last year, and I'll say it again:

Part of our responsibility as citizens is to make those working for ICE as miserable as possible.

Not just non-cooperation but actively looking for any non-violent and legal way to increase their stress and anxiety.

(thread)
If your relative or neighbor or an acquaintance in your community works for ICE, make life hard for them.

Be difficult as possible. Be tedious. Be exasperating. Be creative in your disdain and pettiness.
Shun them socially. If they work for ICE, they don't get to be around you. They don't get invited to family gatherings. No neighborhood parties at your home. They no longer exist in your social network. They are invisible to you. Treat them like they don't exist.

You may have seen Pete Hegseth mock Sen. Mark Kelly's old U.S. Navy uniform and erroneously claim the medals are misplaced (they are not).

But that got me thinking: every military uniform is a walking resumΓ©. Let's take a tour of Sen. Kelly's impressive career.

(thread) Image
First some quick background:

Sen. Kelly served in the U.S. Navy for 25 years. He commissioned into the branch out of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. He is the only graduate of USMMA to be elected to the Senate.
See that shoulder board (the black thing with gold stripes)?

That means he retired as a Captain, or an O-6. That's one grade below the admiral ranks. Fewer than 6% of U.S. Navy officers reach this rank.

I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now.

(thread)
I don't mean fear of Trump or political persecution, although those can overlap.
When I say "brand protection," I mean the things someone in the political arena does to preserve their career longterm. It's not even necessarily "reputation protection," which is a somewhat different vibe.

Since 1958, West Point has honored one U.S. citizen annually with the Sylvanus Thayer Award for embodying the values of "Duty, Honor, Country."

Tom Hanks was set to receive the award later this month. His ceremony was just abruptly canceled by the Academy.

(thread)
Recipients of the Sylvanus Thayer Award are a Who's Who of American icons.

Presidents, Supreme Court justices, Secretaries of State and Defense, astronauts, journalists, etc. have been honored.

It's basically the Academy's version of an honorary doctorate. It's a big deal.
There's always a military parade for the recipient and a ceremony and a formal dinner with the entire Corps of Cadets and Academy staff.

It's one of the biggest days on the West Point calendar.

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex."

There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one.

(thread)
An ICBM launched from Russia can reach the U.S. in 27 minutes. An ICBM launched from North Korea takes about 30 minutes; some estimates have it as low as 24 min. That doesn't mean we all get a text alert on our phones saying an ICBM is gonna hit in a half hour.
In reality, most of us wouldn't get much of a heads up at all. Because the ICBM needs to be properly identified and confirmed and reconfirmed. Then it has to be imperfectly tracked. Then agencies have to be notified. Then the press. Then the rest of us.

This is being somewhat misreported, and I think it's important to correctly frame it, so that folks don't sound clownish when they're advocating for the retirement benefits of trans service members.

(thread)
The Air Force is denying *early retirement* to trans service members who have served 15-18 years and are being forced out.
As most folks know, Active Duty members of the military are eligible for retirement at 20 years. This is a separate thing from medical retirement, by the way.
